Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Stoller Newport News Nuclear (SN3) subsidiary retained its work as the major subcontractor to Wastren Advantage on the environmental surveillance, education, and research contract at the Energy Department’s Idaho Operations Office, the company said Wednesday.
The subcontract to Wastren Advantage, a major cleanup contractor across the DOE weapons complex, is worth up to $13.7 million over four years, including a one-year base period and three one-year options, Huntington Ingalls said.
Under the subcontract, SN3 helps Wastren Advantage comply with federal environmental law at Idaho National Laboratory, including by monitoring levels of radiation and hazardous chemicals originating from the site. Among the waste left over from spent-fuel recovery and reactor testing programs in the 1950s are 900,000 gallons of sodium-bearing liquid radioactive waste slated to be turned into a more manageable solid by the Integrated Waste Treatment Unit under construction at the site.
SN3 has been involved in the ESER project for 15 years, including as prime contractor from 2000 to 2010, according to a press release.
